Career-minded students display their good taste

Oct. 15, 2003

KALAMAZOO -- Scores of Western Michigan University students
are displaying their good taste by signing up for WMU's sixth
annual Etiquette Dinner from 6 to 9 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 23,
in the Fetzer Center.

The on-campus dinner is a special business seminar that gives
juniors, seniors and graduate students bread and butter information
about proper business etiquette in social situations. Organized
by WMU's Career and Student Employment Services each fall, it
typically draws some 100 students who hope to pick up pointers
for avoiding social gaffes during mealtime interview situations.

Representatives from Kalamazoo-based Stryker Instruments will
serve as hosts for the seminar portion of this year's program.
CSES selected Stryker as WMU's 2003 Employer of the Year.

Following the seminar, students will sit down to a formal
dinner, during which they will be able to practice their newly
learned skills.

Students planning to attend the Etiquette Dinner must register
in advance and those who attend are expected to dress in business
attire. Space is limited, so immediate registration is encouraged.
Tickets for the event cost $6 and are available from CSES.

To register or obtain more information, call Nicole Klann
or Melita Terrentine in CSES at (269) 387-2745 or visit the CSES
offices on the first floor of Ellsworth Hall.
